The Icarus jets were the hardest part to get used to. Holy crap those things take a little time to learn. I tried out the Baron and Nova on my VS LA. I prefer running medkits when I shotgun regardless of the loadout so that part wasn't bad. I think my highest streak with the Baron was around 8. Counter Intel makes me want to cry. u.u
My personal shotgun load out for LA is: Nighthawk with exmags (Piston for NC) NS Blackhand Pistol Flashbang Grenade C4 Grenade Bandoleer Regeneration Implant Jetpack of choice It's always awesome to Flashbang a room full of enemies and then charge in and mop up with an auto shottie.
